The Portrait Transformed explores the evolution of portraiture from final quarter of the 1700s until the present, featuring 151 rare portrait drawings and oil sketches. Among the highlights are a late eighteenth-century work by Jacques-Louis David, four works by Lucian Freud, and Aubrey Beardsley’s decadent India ink portrait of Oscar Wilde.
The Portrait Transformed also boasts a fine range of self-portraits, many of which are expressed metaphorically like in the case of Adolph Menzel’s right hand drawn or Maximilien Luce’s self-portrait. It is also included Alfred Hitchcock’s famous profile seen by millions in the introduction to his television series “Alfred Hitchcock Presents.”
